Oh single white rose
How do you remain untarnished?
Harbouring all the beauty of this world
In a single dew-dropped petal
Oh single white rose
Unaware of your surroundings
Unaware of the beauty you possess
But still there all the same
In the image of God created
Within reason of man; destroyed
Though you will wither in time
This testament will remain:
It will be in beauty that you left
As it is in beauty that you came...

This is something I could hear being read at a funeral for a dear family member or friend - I am sure that is not what you really intended but it is that beautiful it is nice enough

Sometimes it's so easy to lose who we are, trying to fill into a certain mold or with a certain group of people and then completely lose sight of who we really are
